Barrow v Notts County match thread

[Big_Bluebird]

Wasn’t a late winner but there was Matt Platts equaliser v Cambridge in 2020 as well which was certainly like getting 3pts

On the subject of Matt Platt I didn't think there was any need for the booing when he came on.

He was our best player for the time he was on. Gave the ball away 6 or 7 times and gifted us a corner

Let's not get carried away.

Notts County looked a poor team. And they haven't won a game.

Our first goal would have being saved by a better keeper. Their keeper's response - banging the goal post with his glove - suggested that he knew he should have done better.
Our second was scrambled in. And don't forget we were playing against 10 men in the final 10 mins.

However, it was definitely a big improvement.
But they'll be bigger and better nuts than Notts County to crack this season.

I shall get carried away if I want to. I thought football was supposed to excite you.
I won’t have you or any of the other negative ninnies on here telling me when and what I am allowed to feel, or what I can and cannot get excited about.
Peddle your pessimism somewhere else.

Exactly Matty Platt couldn’t do a thing right when he came on. So those that booed were probably justified in making it as hostile an environment as they could.
Hope it’s not too bad of an injury as he’s had his fare share of those.

I don't think anybody is telling you what to feel or what you can can get excited about
Feel free to feel and become excited about what you want.
However, remember; there are others who might see things differently to yourself.

It's not about being pessimistic. It's about being realistic.

The second goal was far from scrambled. It was superb ball control by Shipley followed by a precision stab into the net.

No. I think you celebrate both the performance and the win. And as for bigger nuts to crack, I really think we’ve already played the two best teams in the division.

I’d put it slightly differently. Notts County have been backed heavily for promotion by the bookies. They do not look to be anywhere near that after three games. But they are not canon fodder by any means and when they get Jatta back will probably win more than they lose.

But they still were competent and had to be beaten. Which we did. Just. Be happy.

This made me chuckle.. "peddle your pessimism"

Some people wouldn't be happy if we romped the league on max points and got a golden cup for doing so...!

Don't think we are anywhere near as bad as people make us out to be, almost a new squad, early days, mega temperatures to play in and to be fair, last two games we are showing good signs!

More positives.than negatives imo

[Red Patch Bluebirds]

Barrow 1-0 Accrington Stanley 1993/94

David Addenbrook injury time winner, Holker St end. Random but just one that sticks in my memory

That's the forward wev e been looking for a desire to get there first and put the ball I the net.

Notts County got a late equaliser .
How many times has that happened in recent years.
Leading only to draw or get beat against 10 men
The fact the players did not give up was commendible.
It was a sicker for Notts County but we have not been beaten by them in recent years..
Now to beat out bogey team Harrogate who I don't think have lost yet

Not sure if Muldoon is still there he seems to score against us.

[McMark]

The Tyler Walker goal looked like it was a scrambled effort from my view behind the Holker St goal. But seeing it played back his strike beat Roos well and proper.
Both goals captured well in the alternative highlights. Magical pass by Booty and a delightful finish by Shipley.

Walkers goal was a great move started from the back. Shipley carried it brilliantly down the left and played a fantastic pass to put Barkhuizen away to set Walker up.

Spot on with the late goals against point. We seem to transform into another team after 65 minutes. Seems like every week we invite constant pressure on ourselves

Yeah on live viewing it looked like he'd got away with making a bit of a mess of a tap in, but from that view the ball looks to have been played slightly behind him, so he had to readjust, and fortunately he generated enough power to get through the keeper's despairing dive.
